because only then can i stand before the congress in washington and say what i say to you now. this territory must and shall become a state. [cheers and gunfire] - i continue to press for statehood, along with the others, governor. but it's only because i don't want to discourage them. frankly, i just can't see our being granted statehood, not for so long as indian troubles keep us looking like a raw frontier. - mr. kilgore, we have a denial from mr. muller, the indian agent. - what does muller know about it? - red hawk's young men come climbing down off that reservation any night they please. they steal calves, broncos-- anything they can lay their hands on. - well, is there any evidence to prove these charges? - well, mr. clive, when a man finds one of his best calves butchered out on the range and the best parts of it cut away and only moccasin tracks around it, that's evidence. - governor, the reservation is too close to town. - up to now, they've only killed our cattle. but what if they start in on us again? - these people can't see why they can't move these indians farthe
